Well, I know a boy, he worked all day
Broke his back to earn his pay
Never really want to complain and fuss
He's just living like the rest of us
Well, Friday came along, he rang my line
Said, "Look at the clock, it's about damn time
I work too hard to stay at the house
A bar stool sounds pretty good right now"
And we go
Like a hunting dog cuttin' through the wind in the wintertime
And, oh
I ain't missin' out on what I can't have back
'Cause when it's gone, it's gone and I carry on
Live it up 'cause it ain't too long
Well, I know a good time waitin' at the bar
We hung out, but I never get far
Tonight's a new night and you never know
What may come of it if I go
She got big brown eyes and some long tan legs
She walked up to me and this is what she said
"The door's right over there, my friend
And you won't get this chance again"
And we go
Like a hunting dog cuttin' through the wind in the wintertime
And, oh
I ain't missin' out on what I can't have back
'Cause when it's gone, it's gone and I carry on
Live it up 'cause it ain't too long
